Recently I spent some time thinking more about God, and I ended up praising Him for everything I saw. I get so tickled that I don't have to be concerned about anything anymore. I'm teaching myself to think and say Lord willing about everthing in my life.
God must always have first place in our hearts. He says, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). Brothers the better we know Him, the easier that will be. Shortly I will list some names of our Lord that are good to read over frequently. Speak them out loud and declare that aspect of God as a reality in your life. They will remind us of His greatness and inspire greatness in us.
In the Bible God has numerous names. Guys if we were able to grasp all of who God is on our own, He would not have needed to inspire the writers of the Bible to speak of Him using His many names. I have a question for you, do you think that God is ashamed of His work? Do you believe that He's done His best?
God doesn't hide who He is and what He has done. We can clearly see Him if we will open our eyes. (20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (21) For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.(Romans 1:20-21).
"A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble - because the Christ-like is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out". -C.S.Lewis. Let's face it, as hard as we try, we all make mistakes. We don't live God's way in everything we think and do. the word of God says, "There is not a man on earth who does good and does not sin" (Ecclesiates 7:20).
Guys no matter what is going on in your life, they will always be cause for Praise. Not only can God create something from nothing, but everything He creates is good. Seven times in the story of creation, God said that what He made was good (Genesis 1:4,10,12,17,21,25,31). Think about this, if everything God makes is good, doesn't that mean you are too?
